Mighty Lord

Chapter 1267: Chapter 493 Retreat_3

Thus, although Zhou Tian’s retreat at that time was sudden, as long as one knew the thoughts in Zhou Tian’s mind at that moment, it wouldn’t seem strange at all.

However, although Zhou Tian’s reaction at that time could be said to be inevitable, Pan Shi immediately became tense at that moment, unaware of Zhou Tian’s thoughts.

From any perspective, Pan Shi felt that handling the situation well today would likely be difficult.

Because he did not understand Zhou Tian’s thoughts, Pan Shi had to consider the possible consequences of his actions whenever he did anything. If his actions were not handled well, he feared they could lead to unforeseen consequences.

It was precisely because he did not know Zhou Tian’s thoughts and feared Zhou Tian’s strength that Pan Shi seemed indecisive in the face of Zhou Tian’s retreat. Given Zhou Tian’s overwhelming power, a misstep could have triggered severe consequences at that moment.

Clearly, Pan Shi did not want to witness such a scenario. Thus, when Zhou Tian chose to retreat, Pan Shi did not pursue but merely watched Zhou Tian leave until he had completely left his space, still puzzled about why Zhou Tian had reacted that way.

Zhou Tian clearly could have taken over his space but ultimately chose not to, and although this was to his advantage, Pan Shi could not feel at ease without understanding Zhou Tian’s thoughts. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

After all, Zhou Tian’s initial intent was to annex those Ancient Ruins Spaces, and just a little more persistence could have secured him one. Yet, Zhou Tian suddenly gave up, a stark contrast to his prior actions that made the Ancient Ruins Space seem like part of some scheme without understanding his thoughts.

Even though Pan Shi felt extremely uneasy about not knowing Zhou Tian’s intentions, regardless of what Zhou Tian was thinking at the moment, Pan Shi had no choice but to let it go since Zhou Tian had already left.

Thus, shortly after Zhou Tian left that space, Pan Shi soon decided to retreat as well.

Regardless, the strength that Zhou Tian displayed was formidable, and after their encounter, Pan Shi had regarded Zhou Tian as a formidable opponent. Since a conflict had already occurred between them, Pan Shi was certainly planning some form of defense.

He did not aim to defeat Zhou Tian but at the very least, Pan Shi hoped not to suffer any disadvantage at Zhou Tian’s hands. Thus, if necessary, Pan Shi would definitely find a way to atone for his mistakes and, if possible, he might even try to drive Zhou Tian back to the Main Plane.

Of course, Pan Shi was well aware that although his plan was sound, considering the level of strength Zhou Tian had displayed, it was simply impossible for him to defeat or drive Zhou Tian away by his own power alone. Consequently, even at the cost of losing face, Pan Shi had no choice but to seek help from other ancient beings.

After all, Zhou Tian’s presence had become a significant threat to the ancient beings’ living environment; while not all ancient beings wished for Zhou Tian’s death, they wouldn’t mind driving him back to the Main Plane if possible. Naturally, no living beings would like to live under the constant threat of someone encroaching on their territory.

Without knowing that Zhou Tian’s mindset had changed, Pan Shi guessed that if he truly aimed to turn ancient beings against Zhou Tian, the number of ancient beings willing to intervene upon Pan Shi’s request might be quite substantial. With Pan Shi’s level of power, each additional member would significantly increase the pressure on Zhou Tian. If Zhou Tian handled it poorly, he could even lose his life.

Regrettably, Zhou Tian was unaware of Pan Shi’s actions, or perhaps even if he knew, he was powerless to stop him. Under those circumstances, once Pan Shi was resolved to continue the fight with Zhou Tian, it was destined that Zhou Tian would have a difficult time settling down to cultivate.

Of course, at the moment, Zhou Tian was still unaware of the reaction Pan Shi had, so not to mention making preparations, he hadn’t even thought about it.

At that time, Zhou Tian had only one idea in his mind.

"Quickly start cultivating the old power system; I must possess a certain level of strength before this Epoch ends. Otherwise, if this Epoch ends and the world rules of this game-like world change again, I could be completely reset."

With that thought, Zhou Tian began to cultivate almost immediately after retreating from Pan Shi’s space, without considering Pan Shi’s actions. ƒrēewebnovel.com

Although it was the effect of the Monster System, Zhou Tian’s physical fitness had grown to such an extent at that point, far surpassing ordinary people.

Thus, given the situation at that time, Zhou Tian’s physical fitness was quite remarkable—not surpassing deities, but comparable to demigods.

And based on that situation, although Zhou Tian did not know whether his physical fitness would change with the shift in the rules of the Main Plane, at least for now, when cultivating the old power system, Zhou Tian didn’t need to start from scratch like ordinary living beings by tempering his body.
